It's been a while, so here's one for the grid...this is 46 (on the 18th).

It's incredible how much can change in a year!

Undoubtedly this has been a year of many changes, some good, some bad, some necessary, and some that have surprisrd me in ways I could never imagine. Throughout it all, the amount of gratitude I have for all the lessons along the way, can never be measured.

CORE MEMORIES LOCKED IN 🔒

What a day!

Over 3.5 hours of walking from Kits to Granville Street, to Waterfront, these boys had a BLAST!

Disappointed at Canada losing, but being by the stadium while they scored, and feeling/hearing the stadium erupt, the boys screamed with excitement!

My Mama heart is so full, grateful to have been able to give them this day to experience.

How it started, and how it's going now 🥰😭

Where do I even begin?!

How has 6 years gone by this fast?! Just yesterday we were sending you off to Kindergarten in the middle of Covid, September 2020, and today you've graduated Elementary School and Grade 5!

No one prepares you for when you children start reaching these milestones, I held back tears all afternoon knowing you are growing up and becoming the most kind, empathetic, loving, hard working, and passionate young man.

I have been so blessed to be your Mom and to get a front row seat to experience all you've achieved. As much as I wish time would slow down, I'm so excited to see what more you will do and where you will go.

Love you to the moon and back Easton, keep being your authentic self, I'm so proud of you!

💙💙💙💙

From "Mom why do you have to go to the gym again?!", to "hey Mom, let's go workout"

Teach by example, they are always watching 😍

Lets catch up, it's been a while! 😅

Life lately: balancing the hustle, embracing the growth, starting new chapters, and appreciating the quiet moments in between. ✨

Professionally, it’s been a season of leveling up, advocating for my value, and owning my decades of experience. There is something incredibly empowering about knowing exactly what you bring to the table and not being afraid to stand on it. 💼💪

Personally, it’s a mix of the big milestones and the daily routines. From helping my son navigate his own new chapters ⚽️ (proud mom moment! 📝). To prioritizing my own health, wellness, needs, and non-negotiables. Taking care of my mind and body from the inside out has been a game-changer. Maintaining some relationships and walking away from others, when I no longer felt valued, has brought me so much peace 🙏🏻

Through every season, I’m just grateful for the solid foundation beneath my feet, the incredible support system by my side, and the reminder that it’s never too late to keep evolving.

Here’s to the beautiful, busy, authentic, messy-middle of life. 🥂💫

They say you can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. 🕊️

If I could sit down with my younger self—the one who thought every finish line was a finality—here is what I’d whisper to her:

1️⃣ Experience is your quiet superpower. Those decades of navigating twists and turns weren't "lost time." They were the training ground for the wisdom you carry today. You aren't starting from scratch; you’re starting from experience.

2️⃣ Stability is a feeling, not just a set of circumstances. You’ll learn that you can build a solid foundation at any stage of life. It’s never too late to advocate for your worth or to reorganize your world to fit the person you’ve become.

3️⃣ The "How" matters less than the "Why." Don't get hung up on the formal path. Whether it’s your career, your personal growth, relationships, or your health, your intuition and your hands-on grit are more valuable than any piece of paper.

4️⃣ Growth is a daily choice. From the way you care for yourself to the boundaries you set in your relationships, starting over is really just a series of small, intentional shifts.

To anyone else standing at a crossroads: The view is actually better from here. You know more, you fear less, and you’re finally ready to live for you.

Here’s to the next chapter. ✨

Here we go, off to start Grade 5! 🏫🎒

I may have teared up 😢 as I watched him walk off on his own to meet his friend this morning.

Feels like yesterday he was starting Kindergarten, the years really do fly by! 😭❤️
